NPI lookup for speech therapists & speech-language pathologists
FastSpeech is a free directory focused on speech therapists, speech-language pathologists (SLPs), and speech therapy clinics. Every National Provider Identifier in our database comes from the public CMS NPPES Registry and is refreshed monthly.
A speech therapist (also called a speech-language pathologist or SLP) helps with articulation, stuttering, language delays, voice disorders, swallowing, and post-stroke recovery. Use the search above to find speech therapy services in your state, or browse by specialization and insurance.
Each profile shows the provider's NPI, taxonomy, state license, practice address, accepted insurance, telehealth availability, and patient reviews — everything you need to verify a speech therapist before booking.
FastSpeech is not affiliated with CMS or NPPES. We surface public-record data in a faster, friendlier interface.
Frequently asked questions about speech therapy
What is speech therapy?
Speech therapy is a clinical service that evaluates and treats communication and swallowing disorders. A licensed speech therapist works with children and adults on articulation, language comprehension, stuttering and fluency, voice quality, social communication, and feeding or swallowing problems. A typical first appointment lasts 60–90 minutes; ongoing sessions are usually weekly or twice-weekly.
Speech therapist vs speech-language pathologist — what's the difference?
None — they are the same profession. Speech-language pathologist (SLP) is the formal clinical and licensing term used by ASHA and state boards. Speech therapist is the everyday term parents and patients use. On FastSpeech, both terms point to the same set of clinicians.
How do I find a speech therapist near me?
Type your ZIP code or city into the search box at the top of this page. You'll get a map of nearby speech therapy clinics and individual SLPs, sorted by claimed-and-verified profiles, ratings, and proximity. You can also browse by state or filter by specialization.
Does insurance cover speech therapy?
Most U.S. health plans — including Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare, and major commercial carriers (Aetna, BCBS, Cigna, UHC) — cover medically-necessary speech therapy. Coverage for habilitative therapy in children and developmental delays varies by plan; always confirm with your insurer before scheduling. FastSpeech profiles list which payers each clinician has been verified to accept.
Is online (telehealth) speech therapy effective?
Yes — peer-reviewed research in the American Journal of Speech-Language Pathology has shown that teletherapy for articulation, language, and fluency disorders produces outcomes comparable to in-person sessions for most school-age children and adults. Many providers in our directory offer online speech therapy; filter by service mode on the search page.
Speech therapy for adults — who can it help?
Speech therapy for adults commonly addresses post-stroke aphasia, traumatic brain injury, Parkinson's-related speech changes, voice disorders, accent modification, dysphagia (swallowing), and stuttering. Treatment is goal-directed and time-limited; many patients see meaningful gains within 8–12 weeks of weekly sessions.
